53 Information (1/2)

Today was the day, Ryusei would start receiving the information from the spies he set up in various cities and towns. He was talking with Rongrong whilst waiting for the carts to return.

He was feeling a bit excitement as he had never done anything, even in his previous life. He knew that he shouldn't expect too much from these people, as there would be a very low chance that they could get some sort of sensitive information.

But every bit of information was important because if he got bits of information and could piece them together then who knew, he might something important through it. And he refused to believe that there wouldn't be anything useful within the info sent by over 1000 people.

As they were waiting, they heard a knock on the door. Both of them looked towards each other and Rongrong stood up saying, ”I will go and open the door.” When she opened the door, there stood a scrawny man wearing White shirt and Black pants, he was a worker working in the inn.

The man looked towards Ryusei and said, ”Dear guests, you have someone waiting for you. He is asking you come and collect the fruits.” Ryusei nodded and replied, ”Alright then, lead the way.”

The scrawny man nodded and stepped walking down stairs towards the cart, both of them followed him to the entrance of inn where the cart was waiting for them.

Ryusei noticed the cart driver standing near the reception, the worker from the inn pointed towards the man and bowed and left, Ryusei the man and started moving towards cart driver.

Ryusei nodded towards the cart driver and both of them started walking towards the back of the inn where the man had stationed his cart within its shed. Ryusei looked at the cart and checked the quantity.

He then stored them in his Spatial Belt and gave him the permission to leave. The man bowed and drove away with his cart back to his house. After the cart driver left, Ryusei returned back to the room impatiently.

She giggled at his childlike expression as his face was glowing with anticipation even though he knew that there might not anything important, he was still looking forward to it. ”Rongrong, could you please sit to that side. I am going to pull out the fruits.”

Rongrong nodded and made some space for Ryusei to pull out all the fruits from his Spatial Belt. There were simply far too many fruits and it created a small mountain in the middle of the room. Ryusei looked with anticipation as he inspected inside the fruits.

He had already marked all the fruits that were hollow inside so that it would be easier for him and the informants to find them, but he made sure that the mark was hidden properly so that only who knew it could find it. He opened the fruits that were hollow and pulled out a small paper.

”No information”. First fruit had no information in it. But he wasn't discouraged as he expected that it was practically impossible to find anything important in such a short period of time. They were in a completely new place with no connection to anyone so it was understandable that no one would open up to them and tell them something important all of sudden, but most importantly, they were all amateurs who didn't have any idea about how to get the information from someone, so the results were as expected.

But he knew that there were some cunning people who would be able to get some information as there are too many blabber mouths who loved to gossip. It won't be hard to get the information out of them and there was also a chance that they could meet a guy and form some connection without much difficulty.
